About this Research Topic
Vulnerable populations, including jail inmates, the transgender and LGBTQ community often experience significant barriers to accessing oral health care. These patients are at increased risk for a range of oral health diseases, including dental caries, periodontitis, and oral cancer. Advances in oral health care have the potential to improve the quality of life and overall health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
Through this Research Topic, we aim to provide critical dental care to vulnerable populations. We can improve the quality of life of the marginalized population by oral health education and promotion.
We welcome submissions on a range of topics related to advancing oral health care for vulnerable populations, including but not limited to:
• Innovative approaches to improving access to oral health care for vulnerable population
• Evaluation of oral health care interventions for vulnerable populations
• Addressing disparities in oral health care for vulnerable population
• Novel technologies and approaches for diagnosing and treating oral health problems in vulnerable patients
• Strategies for improving oral health education and promotion among vulnerable populations
• Collaborative models of care involving oral health care providers and other healthcare professionals.
• Oral health education and promotion in marginalized populations.
• Quality of life in marginalized populations.
• Substance abuse in marginalized populations.
• Global oral health burden in vulnerable populations.
We accept the following article types: Viewpoint, opinion, perspective, review articles, original research, Policy and Practice Reviews, Systematic Review and Meta analysis, mini reviews, Brief Research Report, and General Commentary.
